Poison

One more thing to get exorcised about.  BP just leaked millions of gallons of oil off the coast of Louisiana after fighting for years to deregulate their industry.  

Well, what do I want out of this?  Health and joy.  Gag.  Not even sure how to register this in my brain.  The animals and any life in the way of this spill are poisoned, being poisoned as I write.  Shit.

At least BP's stock price is taking a hit.  If we're lucky, some of those clowns go to prison and BP ceases to exist. 

Gag, gag, gag.  I have to do something physical, back later.

Mai ji sa ze nen

Been afraid for so long that it is strangely liberating to just say, "It's a good day to die."  This is some kind of native american stereotype, I'm sure, but today I choose to become active somehow.  Pain, poverty and death seem more real everyday, without taking any risks, so what am I afraid of?

Deep down, the fear is being replaced by a sense of what I want for myself, what I want for everyone else, yes, that old saw - - PEACE, dammit, Peace.

Done

Levin hearing comment: Be funnier if they flashed pics of these guy's houses, cars, watches, suits, restaurant and flight tabs as they testify. Levin rocks. lol!

As funny as it was to watch the GS smirking at Levin it was depressing to understand how far away we are in getting a bill out of the senate.  The only way to reconcile being a citizen of this country is to get involved in such a way that I take back a measure of my power, my understanding of fairness and economy and do it here and on twitter first and foremost.  

Any kind of self espression that will crowd out the cries of rage and helplessness that I want to let out in pure madness at what we have had to live through since our world was invaded.  This kind of rage has been killing my spirit and my family is dying around me, so it is necessary for me to find another way.

Even if it kills me, it has to be towards peace and equality, it being my self expression, in league with others, hopefully, but not dependent on them.  I have to be dependent on only myself.  If death is sooner rather than later because of it, hell, yes, I'm scared but today I'm done hanging back, done, done, done.

"Socialize" my thoughts!?

Birnbaum is amazingly smug.  He is trying so hard not to laugh at Tester's questions.  He is not so great at socializing his thoughts at this hearing.  Tester is going to rip gs mainly because of him  

Sparks is dancing his ass off.  He is effectively saying,  "There were suckers who wanted this risk, give me a break, here!"  He is an under-liar.

So maddening that most of us have trouble making our bills and don't know how to do taxes half the time and these guys get paid billions for being dollar hogs.

CSPAN rocks

Always have to acknowledge good tv when it's there.  The idiots from wall street are having to fight smugness while evading questions AND condescending to the politicians in front of a SENATE committee meeting and millions of people watching!  It's even more hilarious to watch these young, reckless, dollar-slaves try to justify themselves (in such indignant tones, yet), and now the freakin' republican is getting irritated!  Not looking good for the moneyslaves.
